Panasonic Camera Recorder Ajhdc27hp Operating Instructions

61
Variable frame rate
This camera-recorder enables the frame rate
(shooting speed) to be set from 4 fps to 60 fps.
Since the 720P/59.94 Hz or 720P/60.00 Hz format is
used for recording onto the tape or outputting to the
HD SDI MON connector and the HD SDI EE
connector , users now have the exciting opportunity to
create a whole new dimension of moving images with
clearer slow-motion images and blur effects—a world
which was hitherto confined to the field of film
production—in their own video...

Variable frame rate (continued)
After setting your desired frame rate with the USER
(USER1 or USER2) button through menu operations,
you can shoot with the set frame rate simply by
pressing the USER button.
You can recover the previous frame rate by pressing
the USER button again.

Variable frame rate(continued)

In this unit, the frame rate is set by changing the
storage time of the optical signals sensed by the CCD.
Depending on the frame rate setting, the following
problems may arise.
1White blemish
White blemishes may be seen on the screen on
account of the fluctuations in the dark current of the
photodiodes which make up the CCD picture
elements. This current increases in direct
proportion to the rise in the CCD’s temperature and
storage time in the photodiode.
In short,...

Adjusting the audio level
When the AUTO SELECT CH1 and CH2 selector
switches are set to AUTO, the audio CH1 and CH2
input levels are adjusted automatically.
Proceed as follows to adjust the audio channel 1 and
2 levels manually.
Manual audio level adjustments
When the audio levels have been adjusted manually,
the limiter circuit is tripped by an excessively high
input level.  This circuit can be turned ON or OFF on
the MIC/AUDIO screen of the VTR menu.
(The factory setting is OFF.)

Setting the time data
When the user bits and time code are both to be used,
the user bits are set first.
If the time code is set first, the time code generator
will stop while the user bits are being set so that the
time code setting will be off.
The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00
to 23:59:59:29.
In the internal color bar signal recording mode,
memos (dates and times) of up to six hexadecimal
digits can be recorded on the sub-code track by
setting the user bits.User bits memory...

Setting the time code
1Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.
2Set the TCG switch to SET.
3Switch the TC MODE to DF or NDF on the TC/UB
screen of VTR MENU.
Select DF to run the time code in the drop frame
mode or select NDF to run the time code in the
non-drop frame mode.
4Set the time code using the SHIFT button, “+”
button and “–” button.
SHIFT button:
This is used to start the digit to be set flashing.
Each time it is pressed, the flashing moves by
one digit to the right.
“+” button:
This increments by 1...

Externally locking the time code
1Set the POWER switch to ON.
2Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.
3Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.
4Supply the reference time code and reference
video signal which are in a phase relationship that
satisfies the time code standard to the TC IN
connector and GENLOCK IN connector
respectively.
When the external lock operation is performed, the
time code is instantly locked to the external time code,
and the same value as the external code value
appears on the counter display.

Tape management information
This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which
indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame
image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area).  This information
is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector.  Further, the active
frame information is stored in the least...

How to use the user data
The contents of the setting menus can be saved in the
user area of the camera’s memory, and they can be
loaded from this area.  Use of this data speeds up the
process of reproducing suitable setup statuses.

How to use the scene file
The contents of the setting menus can be saved in the
scene file area of the camera’s memory, and they can
be loaded from this area.
Four scene files are provided in the unit.
